I can't really think of anything to put up here, mainly because I'm torn between something funny, and something accurate. Ah well, this'll do.
-
And I don't know how to credit it, either...
Okay, let's do this again, but without the
Blatant Lies and
Mind Screw this time...
Hello, gentlemen. And gentlewomen.
My name is Rena the Archmage, and I'm a male troper living in
Eagle Land. When I first started back in... 2009, I lied, cheated,
backstabbed and
used gender neutral pronouns to convince everyone I was female.
I found it hilarious. Huehuehuehue...
Anyways, on to the actual description...
I'm your average nerd, I guess. I wear glasses, measure about 6'1", enjoy anime, and own cats named
Loki and Freya. I also enjoy writing when I feel like it (Though you'd know me as One-Week Wizard on FFn), video games, and reading.
I can also be
a hit with the women folk, and tend to prefer weird and/or cute things.
I also tend to
apologize a lot. Believe it or not, I actually used to do it waaaay more a few years back. I've got a wicked inferiority complex to thank for that.
Um. I also like to play board games, most of them web-based. And I'm typically not bad at them, as
Fauxlosophe can attest to. I'm much better at board games then video games, at any rate. Probably because I was born lucky or something.
Haruuumph. Uhhh... I also tend to write as I speak, so you'll notice a lot of
verbal tics and weird noises in my writing. Erm, yeah. That's why. It also explains the choppy sentences sometimes.
So... Yeah. That's really it. I'm nowhere near as perpetually high-strung as I seem. I mean, I
can be, but...
Yeah.
I also roleplay a lot, and am most active in
Fauxlosophe's Mythril Soldier Troperion: Aeris Gaiden RP, where I play the
Blood Knight Crazy Awesome pyromaniac, Lilith "MORE BOOM FOR THE BOOM GOD" MacDonald, from the page quote.
I'll roll a Cent character as well...
Eventually.
Oh, and last but not least, I'm a
HUUUUGE TakerFoxx fan. Imperfect Metamorphosis is, due to sheer length, awesomeness, and
Touhou Project, one of the best things I've ever read. He's modest, but it's true.
Anyway... That's really all.
Please sign my page if you want. It makes me happier than you can imagine. Thanks!

Tropes that apply to Rena (Self-Described)
- Adjusting Your Glasses: It's my way of talking to myself, with glasses. Yeah, figure that one out.
- Apologizes a Lot: I've mostly grown out of it, actually. I still do it frequently.
- Attention Whore: Well, I have a tendency to think I'm this whenever I open my mouth about my life. Basically, I'm so afraid to be called an Attention Whore that I think I am one, even if I'm probably not. Wrap your head around that.
- Annoying Younger Sibling: Before my sister and I were in the "We're Cool" phase, I was this to her. Now, it's my little sister to me.
- Axe Crazy: In video games, anyway. When given the choice between beating/burning things to death and, you know, actual strategy... I'll probably take the former. MOAR FIREPOWER! MOOOOAAAAAR FIREPOWER FOR THE FIREPOWER THRONE.
- Beneath Suspicion: If I didn't cackle insanely every time I pulled something off, I would never be caught. Unfortunately... I tend to laugh. A lot.
- Big Brother Worship: Ask me about my older brother, and I'll tell you that he can speak/understand six languages (Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean fluently, Spanish, Greek, and a little bit of Latin not so well), has spent several years in China, is moving to Korea, scored a- Yeah, I'll stop now.
- Big Little Brother: The tallest on one side of the family, in fact.
- Cats are Mean: I own two, Loki and Freya (Did The Research for fitting names). They're little shits.
- Chivalrous Pervert While that's what she may have said, I'd be utterly horrified if she ever did anything of the sort.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Like most people, I "have" ADHD. And I'm a fan of things like Lucky Star, Haruhi Suzumiya, and Touhou. I'm sure you can guess where this is going.
- Corner of Woe: I typically need to go sit in a far off corner to get myself out of a brief depression. My mood tends to plummet rapidly.
- Does Not Like Spam: When I was a kid, beets were the only vegetable that I wouldn't eat.
- The Dutiful Son: Two siblings off at college, Disappeared Dad, and a six-year old Genki Girl to raise? Yep, if I wasn't this to my mother, I'd be the most ungrateful person to ever live.
- Failure Is the Only Option: Rena's Law of Probability states that "Any 50/50 decision has a 100% rate of failure."
- Handshake Substitute: No, really. Handshakes are for the older generation.
- Headphones Equal Isolation: Not really, with me. I typically keep them in my ears for comfort, even though I'm not playing anything, so I can hear everything perfectly. I do take them out to be courteous, though.
- Humans Are Bastards: And how.
- Is Nothing Sacred?: First reaction to the Internet.
- Isnt It Sad: This is how the transition between middle and high school took place.
- Megane: Well, I mostly where contacts. But my personality changes dramatically whenever I'm wearing glasses. Mainly because 60% of my mannerisms are glasses-dependent.
- Not a Morning Person: It varies.
- Not Blood Siblings: Sabre and Gummie are my siblings. America may or may not be my biological father.
- Pyromaniac: To a small degree. I once melted a glass bottle with a bottle rocket. It was beautiful.
- Raised Catholic: I'm nowhere near as fanatical as I used to be. I now keep a policy of "I don't step on your toes, you don't step on mine."
- Ridiculous Procrastinator: On several occasions, I turn in things a while after they're due. I've gotten good at plea bargaining with teachers.
- Rule-Abiding Rebel: Err, yeah. I always want to be so "rebellious", but my idea of "rebellion" is showing respect... spitefully.
- Stuff Blowing Up: While I'm nowhere near as much of a pyromaniac as my character Lilith would have you believe, I am extremely comfortable around fireworks and explosions. I cannot, however, manufacture my own explosives, though.
- Saved by the Awesome: See Weirdness Coupon
- Talkative Loon
- The Klutz: Knocking things over, tripping on nothing, and spacing out? Yeah, all in a day's work...
- This Is Sparta: I tend to do this whenever I'm being overdramatic.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Sushi. Mainly because it's really, really, really tasty seafood. And I live near the Gulf.
- Also... Bananas. I eat, like, four a day now.
- Viewer Gender Confusion: Considering the fact that my handle here is Rena the Archmage, and my other common name is Shanghai Alice, it's fairly understandable.
- Weirdness Coupon: Throwing out the script in order to completely go off the rails for the sake of comedy? Yelling at someone for not believing in the imminent Lunarian Invasion? Check and check.
- Yuri Fan: To a very, very mild extent. Sorta like Mugi from K-On!

Just because everyone seems to have one...
Games
- Age of Empires
- BlazBlue
- Chantelise - I even created the page! The first page I've ever created! Though no longer the only one, now that Fortune Summoners is out.
- Chrono Trigger - Really, this one goes without saying. And yet, it must be said. Because it's Chrono Trigger.
- Civilization
- Disgaea Hourof Darkness - I find it horribly ironic that the back of the PSP version states "Join the Disgaea War to get your life back!" I did. I now want my life back.
- EarthBound
- Empire Earth
- Final Fantasy VI - I've played every single Final Fantasy game before VI and, by far, VI has the deepest story. It may lack the "blank slate" customization of some of its predecessors, but the solid characters and amazing plot more than makes up for it. Also, Ultros. (As for what version I like the best... The original.))
- Fortune Summoners
- Guilty Gear
- Harvest Moon
- Makai Kingdom
- Phantom Brave
- Pokémon
- Recettear
- Red Alert 2
- Sid Meier's Pirates!
- Super Mario RPG

- and I happen to run into having to do it AGAIN in one of hte other threads. ~ TARDISES
You would stand against
me, little devil?! You serve a power that does not even control this place, one who stays locked up with her books, weak, and helpless! You say you'll put in your heart and soul. I say I'll
take your heart and soul, and take them back to Hakugyokurou as a souvenir! I'll get Youmu to cook them, and they'll be delicious! It's all part of my mystical midnight snack tour, you see. Can't have a snack tour without snacks.
But, if you insist on fighting me... well, let's do this fairly. With the part where I make you die and things. That's fairly, right? Fair fair fair! Unless, of course, you're willing to step aside. But it doesn't look like you're about to do that. ...More stubborn than Youmu when she's in one of her moods, you are.
...Nonono. I got it all wrong. If you're challenging me, you must
want to die! It's all clear! ...Don't understand why you'd want to do that, though. Although, Hakugyokurou
is most beautiful at this time of year. You don't have to die to go there, though. Ask the shrine maiden. Or the black-white witch. ...Or the dog of the devil, who lives here, actually. ...She does still live here, right?
Nevermind this. I came here to get snacks, and get snacks I will! Stand not in my way, or you will join the rest of the spirits!
PREPARE YOURSELF, LITTLE DEMON!
Phantasmal Princess: Yuyuko Saigyouji
Prepare to be derived! I'm eradicating you from my spatial co-ordinates!
